How To Make Mango Protein Shake
Blend. In a high-speed blender, combine mango, banana, protein powder, chia seeds, and plant milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve. Pour into a glass and enjoy! For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
Hint: For a thick, creamy, and chilled smoothie, use at least 1 frozen fruit! I used frozen banana, but you can also use frozen mango.
Storage
Store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. Before serving, give it a good stir and add a splash of milk, as the smoothie will thicken as it sits.
